port Of the committee OF the whole on the

HOW MUST PAY UP.
The President Refuses to Sign a
Bill Granting Private Relief.

Inc PRESIDENT Refuses to sign
Bill Granting Private Relief.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The President
returned to the House without approval
this afternoon House bill No, 7,64S, en-
titled IAN act for the relief of the estate
of the late John How, Indian Agent, and
his sureties." Mr.. How was appointed
Indian Agent in July, 1873, and held that
Office until December, 1881, when. upon
the report OF inspectors connected with
the Indian Bureau, he was suspended for
fraud and mismanagement. On
July 81, 1885, final ADJUST
ment was made OF his accounts,
and 1t was found that he owed the gov
ernment much more than the penalty OF
his bond. Suit was, therefore, instituted
against him and his sureties to recover
the amount thus found due to the govern
ment, and that suit is still pending. After
reviewing the history of the case
the President, in his veto message,
says: 1.-The Second Comptroller states,
as the result of examinations
made In his office, and by the Second
Auditor, that 1t appears that many ofthe
vouchers presented by the agent we're
fictitious, persons IN whose names they
were given testifying that services and
supplies therein mentioned were never
rendered or furnished; that in other cases
parties denied the genuineness OF the
vouchers purporting to be made
by them; that large voucher,
apparently given for cattle, was
actually given tor money loaned, and that
supplies bought with government funds
were appropriated for the agents per-
sonal benefit. l do not suppose that 1t
was Intended by Congress to entirely re-
lieve these suretles, If a condition exists
such as is above set out, which results in
an Indebtedness To the government.
The proposed legislation, judging from
the report OF the House Committee
on Claims, seems rather to proceed
upon the theory that no sum Is due
the government in the premises. ] think
IL will hardly be claimed that the patient
investigation OF the accounting officers.
should be lightly discredited in this case.
and it seems to me that business to the
government and fairness to the sureties
seeking relief will presumably be secured
by further prosecution of the suit already
instituted, in which the truth OF all mat
ters involved can be thoroughly tested"

secure quiet. Finally comparative Or
der was restored, and on motion OF Mr..
Herbert, OF Alabama. the House went
into COMMITTEES OF the whole on the naval
appropriation bill. After brief eXpla-
nation of the provisions of the bill by Mr..
Herbert, it was read by sections Tor
amendments. Pending a vote upon an
amendment the committee rose and the
House adjourned.
MORE vEToES.
The Speaker laid before the House to-
day messages from the President return
ing without his approval bills granting
pension to Anthony M. Q. Robertson, in
creasing the pensions of Margaret X.
Jones and Lorin Burritt, and for the re-
lief of William II. Merrebauser. They
were referred to the appropriate COM
mittee.
In the Senate to-day the usual sheaves
ofpetitions from Grand Army posts for the
passage of the dependent pension hill
over the Presidents Veto were presented
and laid on the table.

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.
Constitutional Points Discussed in
the Senate.

Constitutional Points Discussed in
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-In the Senate
to-day the pleuro-pneumonia extirpation
bill was taken up. The constitutional
points involved In the bill were discussed
at considerable length by Messrs. Cullom,
Hoar, Miller, Platt, Hawley and Butler,
The latter in opposing the bill expressed
his belief that the reports as to the
danger from pleuro-pneumonia were ex-
aggeratsd, and that the clamOr was made
for a purpose, that purpose being to eu-
able certain people 10 get their hands into
the Treasury In payment for cattle which
they could not otherwise dispose of. He
had too much regard for the constitution
OF the United States TO support such a
bill.
Mr.. Miller contended that the bill was
constitutional in every respect. IL he did
not believe so he would not baye reported
the bill. He was glad to know that the
Senator from South Carolina was 30
warmly devoted to the constitution of his
country.
Mr.. Butler retorted that it was a source
OF profound regret to him that the Senator
from New York had abandoned his love
ior the constitution. He had treated il
to-day with contempt and sneers.
Mr.. Miller agreed to have the bill
amended 80 as to have the Commissioners
appointed by the President OF the United
States, without the necessity OF confirma-
ton by the Senate, and 1t was SO
amended.
Various amendments to the bill giving
TO the President OF the United States au-
thOrity which had been proposed to be
given to the Commissioner OF Agriculture
were agreed to. Several other amend
ments we're adopted, and still others were
nding when, without disposing of the
bill, the Senate, at 1920 O'Clock, adj
journed.
